At Tuesday's Academic All-Star luncheon, outstanding students and graduates from the college were recognized. Terry L. Johnson is PTC's 2008 Outstanding Student. The 2008 Alumnus of the Year is Leonard A. Boyle Sr., who graduated from Pulaski Tech in 2001 and now serves as executive director of the Arkansas Governor's Commission on People with Disabilities.

The two-day conference provided faculty and staff with professional development opportunities and a chance to network with their peers from other two-year colleges in the state. Several PTC faculty made presentations and led discussions in their various areas of expertise.
